Fantastic! Expressive in the nose, with dark cherries, plums and toffee notes. Good body, sweet tannins, length. Watch for his wines, truly tremendous — 3 years ago
Great winery to visit in Baja. Smooth tannins lovely mid palate and long aftertaste — 3 years ago
A single vineyard Rioja without aging classification, this is a classy Rioja in modern style. Deep and layered nose of plum, blackberry, cassis, licorice, cigar box, cocoa, and hint of smoked meat. Full elegant body. Nicely integrated oak even at this young age. Supple tannins.

Likely some bias as enjoyed it while in the Acores, but tried a bunch of arinto while in the Acores and Portugal proper, and this was the favorite by far. Simply delicious. — 5 months ago
Complex and interesting for the price. — a year ago
Very cool and unique wine, nice to try it again. Pears, lemons, oyster shell, crushed rocks on the nose. Beautiful salinity on the palate. A little short and one dimensional but great@expression of terroir. reminds me of a Chablis. — 3 years ago

Medium garnet core , quite narrow terracotta rim . Spiced earthy summer fruits, blackberry , cherry , blackcurrant , some herbal hints , vanilla , tobacco, grafite and iodine. On the palate this is quite fine boned , with refreshing acidity and medium ripe , rounded tannins , balanced alcohol . More herbal and dark fruited on the palate , blackcurrant , blackberry and cherry , spiced vanilla tinged dark cherry . Tobacco and grafite tinged medium length finish . Still drinking well , this is at peak now so drink over the next 2-3 years . — 20 days ago
